undocumented immigrants

There’s rumors of another massive ICE raid in California, despite its sanctuary state status. AJ+’s Dena Takruri explains how California and its sanctuary cities are trying to defy the Trump administration’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants.

AJ+’s Dena Takruri spends a day with Jose Guevara, a 23-year-old Salvadoran college student who recently relapsed with leukemia for the third time. He’s a DACA recipient, and his mother has temporary protected status, or TPS. The Trump administration has ended TPS, and if his mother has to leave the country, Jose will lose his insurance coverage.

President Trump has issued executive orders to aggressively find and remove undocumented immigrants. AJ+’s Dena Takruri traveled across the border to Mexico to see what the recently deported face on the other side.

President Trump has issued executive orders to aggressively find and remove undocumented immigrants. But immigration courts have a backlog of over half a million cases, which means some immigrants have been waiting years for their fate. AJ+’s Dena Takruri joined a woman on a prison visit to see her husband, who has been locked up for two years.
